As soon as he stepped into the bloody and eerie workroom, where a mutated zombie still lingered, Ling Mo thought that Wang Cen, the pretty girl who seemed so weak and whom he had only seen a few times before, should have long since turned into nothing but white bones and dust. He never could have imagined that he would actually see her alive in this place!

  But Wang Dian originally only slightly raised his head, but as soon as he saw the group of people standing at the door, his eyes widened suddenly, and he jumped up from the chair with a "ding", one slender arm raised, pointing at them, and said hastily and nervously: "You you you……"

  "Huh? You know Rin-neechan?" Li Yu's eyesight wasn't bad, and with one glance, he immediately grasped the situation, asking in a somewhat surprised tone.

  Sister? ! A girl who looks like she's at most 17 or 18 years old, and you, a big man, call her sister? Ling Mo hadn't fully recovered from his shock yet, but he was once again thrown into astonishment. His gaze towards Li Ye also suddenly became somewhat incredulous.

  Li Yu's face turned red as he said in a low voice, "Lin Jie is very strong, and sometimes even the boss can't control her. Last time, she even took the boss back home..."

  He hadn't finished speaking, when Wang Xi took a deep breath and regained her composure in an eerie manner. She slowly walked up to Ling Mo and the others, sizing them up one by one with a somewhat strange gaze.

  While Ling Mo was still wracking his brains to think of an opening remark, Wang Dian had already spoken up in a slightly disdainful tone: "Hey, Xiana, you're not dead yet?"

  Ling Mo's heart suddenly went "thud"! Just after the shock, he forgot that this was Xiana's relative! However, listening to Wang Lin's tone, it seemed like she had some hidden hostility towards Xiana? But thinking about her expression earlier, it was clearly very excited, but when she opened her mouth, it became so cold. This Wang Lin, is quite inconsistent...

  When she heard someone calling her name, Shana did react a bit. Her somewhat dazed eyes turned to Wang Cen, swept him with a glance, and then silently shifted her gaze away.

  It's not because of her arrogant attitude, but rather a post-traumatic symptom after being infected and becoming an undead.

  But Wang Lin was unaware of this, and upon seeing Xiana's reaction, a hint of anger suddenly emerged: "You only know how to make a stinky face? It's also expected from someone like you who dies so easily. But now that you see I'm still alive, are you feeling disappointed?"

  Xiana naturally wouldn't respond, while Ling Mo suddenly revealed a hint of an eerie expression.

  How come Wang Lin's tone sounds not only sour but also somewhat resentful?

  Was it because Shana's reaction was too calm? However, if it were Ye Lian, Ling Mo could still control her to make some reactions, such as nodding or shaking her head. But Shana... being able to suppress her and not let her act rashly was already very good, forcibly controlling her actions could only make her follow him for this one step. Although she wasn't a variant zombie, the difficulty of controlling her was no less than that of a variant zombie, and it was even more complicated.

  If it weren't for Ling Mo's spiritual power evolving, it would be impossible to control both Ye Lian and Xiang Na at the same time without stopping.

  Xiana didn't speak up, Wang Lin coldly snorted again and looked at Ling Mo and the others with an unfriendly expression: "Who are you?"

  Ling Mo was taken aback for a moment, but then revealed a wry smile. He had a very good impression of this neighbor, and even felt a pang of sorrow over her "death", yet she didn't recognize him at all!

  It's no wonder, from any perspective, Ling Mo is the most ordinary person, and even if he were to be thrown into a crowd, no one would give him a second glance. Although he had met this person face-to-face several times before, he couldn't recall what they looked like either. Who let him be just an ordinary person without any distinctive features?

  Liu Yu Hao suddenly said with some surprise: "Lin... I think Xiana has a cousin named Wang Lin!"

  "Hmph!" Wang Lin let out a cold hum, and gave Xiana a sideways glance. Seeing that Xiana still didn't react, her eyes suddenly blazed with anger. But just as she was about to lose her temper, she caught sight of the short knife at Ling Mo's waist.

  Her attention suddenly shifted from Shana to Ling Mo. From the moment Ling Mo entered, Wang Dian hadn't looked at him straight in the eye, but now she fixed her gaze on him: "Huh, you're the one who stole my dagger! What are you doing with Shana?"

  Steal? What's the meaning of steal! In a post-apocalyptic world, you're just an abandoned store that anyone can enter. Are you saying that mutated zombie is the owner?

  But Wang Lin's words are hinting at something! Could it be that when he went to the Wang family's manual knife and sword shop that day, this guy was hiding somewhere eavesdropping?

  Ling Mo thought so and looked at Wang Zhan's eyes, revealing this meaning.

  "What are you looking at? Return the knife to me! This is something I made, what right do you have to take it?" Wang Lin glared at Ling Mo and said in a very impolite tone.

  Still the knife? Ling Mo was taken aback at first, but his shocked expression gradually disappeared, replaced by a hint of indifference and a tinge of gloom. Indeed, this short knife was made by Wang Cen, but it was Ling Mo who had risked his life to retrieve it, even killing a mutated zombie in the process! Now this person was casually walking up to him, stretching out her hand as if expecting him to return the knife to her, as if it were that easy?

  Moreover, for this knife, Ling Mo has already paid a certain "price", that is to help Xiana and others break through to the third middle school. In terms of affection and reason, he doesn't owe Wang Tian anything.

  Looking at Wang Lin's impatient expression, Ling Mo asked coldly, "What makes you think I should return it to you?"

  Wang Dian was stunned for a moment, while Li Ye on the side looked at Ling Mo with an idiot-look in his eyes and quietly tugged on Ling Mo's sleeve: "This is sister Lin's thing, do you dare to keep it? Return it to her." His expression was also filled with regret. If he had known that bringing this group of people back would lead to conflict with Wang Dian, he wouldn't have bothered in the first place.

  Ling Mo merely grunted and didn't respond. However, his expression clearly indicated his attitude. This short knife, he wouldn't take it out.

  "What do you mean by what?" Wang Lin's face turned red with rage as he said, "This knife was originally made by me, and it's the first product that I'm satisfied with! You ran into my store, took something I made, what's the difference between you and a thief? Now the owner asks you to return it, and you still dare to ask what for?"

  Wang Lin's tone made Ling Mo feel very uncomfortable. A strong sense of superiority, as well as that high and mighty demeanor, all indicated that the seemingly frail ** in front of him was exuding a thoroughbred big sister aura from head to toe.

  Not to mention Ling Mo, even Liu Yu Hao's gaze towards Wang Qin had become somewhat displeased. In his heart, he couldn't help but think that although she was his cousin, Wang Qin was far inferior compared to Xia Na...

  As for Wang Cheng, he looked at Wang Dan with some vigilance and quietly retreated two steps back. He didn't want to get involved in this dispute. Wang Dan seemed to have a certain status in this survivor camp, but Ling Mo's strength over the past two days had also left a deep impression on Wang Dan.

  He even faintly felt that although Wang Cen's words were extremely impolite and his expression was somewhat ferocious, Ling Mo would never buy it...

  However, at this moment, the door of the room suddenly opened, and a man in his thirties walked out from inside. He was obviously startled by Wang Lin's loud voice, and as soon as he came out, he asked irritably: "Wang Lin, who are you arguing with again?"

  As soon as he saw Ling Mo and others, the man was stunned for a moment. Especially when he saw Xiana, his expression suddenly became somewhat colorful.

  He and Ling Mo saw Wang Lin's expression at that time, this man looked at Xiana's eyes, also very much like seeing a ghost.

  "This... Wang Lin's cousin... when I went to her house a few days ago, wasn't she already dead?" The man blurted out, but didn't notice that Wang Lin was staring at him with an unpleasant expression.

  Ling Mo raised an eyebrow and thought to himself that this girl's attitude towards Xianna was indeed cold on the outside but warm on the inside.

  However, this does not mean that Ling Mo will be moved. In any case, what he ventured to get would never be returned to Wang Cian.

  "You're here too!" The man quickly shifted his gaze to Ling Mo, and as soon as he spoke, it was as if he had known Ling Mo all along. "I saw you take down that mutated zombie the other day, very impressive! I didn't expect you'd actually come to our camp with Wang Lin's cousin... Is this the beautiful woman who was with you that day?"

  Li Yu also chimed in at this time: "This is our Song Lao Da. Lao Da, these few people are the ones we met today in San Zhong Xiao Qu."

  "Just call me Song Tian." Song Tian smiled slightly.

  Ling Mo deliberately ignored Wang Lin's angry gaze, and smiled slightly, saying: "I am Ling Mo, and Xiana... is Wang Lin's cousin, is..."

  At this point, Ling Mo himself was also entangled. Now that Xiang Nan had become a zombie and was out of his control, she was just a monster. But with Xiang Nan's strength and the faint thread of mercy in her heart, Ling Mo did not want to give up on her yet.

  "So, for now, I should be considered... 'a friend, I'm Xiana's friend. And these two kids are also Xiana's classmates.'" Ling Mo said.

  "What a coincidence indeed!" Song Tian exclaimed, clapping his hands exaggeratedly, before a hint of concern appeared on his face. "Wang Lin, you still remember that short knife of yours?"

  "Nonsense!" Wang's eyebrows rose as he said matter-of-factly, "Ling Mo, right? Return my dagger at once!"

  "Not returning!" Ling Mo also replied decisively, "This knife was made by you, but I'm the one who risked danger to find it. You say take it and that's the logic of a bandit?"

  Listening to Ling Mo's direct refusal, Wang Dian's face immediately turned very ugly.

  But Song Tian laughed and intervened, "Wang Lin, don't quarrel, let's talk about the dagger later. It's not often that we see your cousin, so let's ask them to stay for now. What do you think, Mr. Ling?"
